I wish there were a service that would unbind cheap books and sew them into a new binding of something bulletproof.

- goosedragons 2y agoThey exist. Book rebinders are a thing. I recall my school's library had a fair number of rebound books. There's probably one around you.
- tmoertel 2y agoThe problem is that the cheap books have already had their signatures cut into individual pages so that they can be perfect bound, basically running a strip of hot melt glue down the binding edge. At this point, you cannot rebind the pages in a way that will compare to the strength and durability of the original signatures.
